Check Out WebCT’s Pre-Conference Online Forums
Starting Monday June 4, a series of Pre-conference Online Discussions will be taking place on WebCT.com. Over a two week period, these discussions will revolve around ten papers which have been selected by conference organizers as truly representative of “Educational Transformation.” The presenters of the papers will be moderating the discussions, which we hope will allow for a richly interactive experience for everyone involved. The discussions will also be facilitated by two WebCT representatives, hailing from the US and Australia.
In preparation for the start of the Discussions, the ten papers are now
available for your review. For a link out to the papers, descriptions of the
presenters, and guidelines on how to use the Discussions on WebCT.com, please visit:
